Summary
God's holiness is the central attribute that reveals His otherness and shapes all other divine attributes. Through the contrasting visions of Isaiah 6 (God on a throne surrounded by fiery seraphim) and John 12 (Jesus arriving on a donkey), listeners discover that the exalted King came in humility to die, calling believers to elevate their understanding of His character and respond with worship.
Highlights
A low view of God leads to low views of holiness, which would consequently lead to low views of our sin, which would lead to low views of the cross of Jesus Christ, which would lead to low views of grace.
God's holiness is not quantitative, meaning he's not bigger and better, but qualitative, meaning he's totally other than us. He's nothing like us.
In his holiness, what makes him so different is that in humble condescension, he stoops to love those who rejected him.
